All your missing out are slightly different pop culture references (I think the movie had the OG Gundam instead of Leopardon of Japanese Spider-Man fame) and an atrocious writing style where everything is described in the form of references (that are immediately explained, of course) and characters keep describing their own actions like some sort of out-of-body experience (So a hypothetical "I jacked off to my waifu" would become "I found myself jacking off to my waifu", which I think he only does to pad out his book and make his sentences look more eloquent), both of which become very tiresome very quick.

And did the movie feature Wil Wheaton as POTUS? 'Cause that's a thing in the book.

You didn't even try.
I'm just salty that this most vital of scenes has yet to be animated.

I'm in the Spielberg's-a-hack camp, but I honestly don't think he really directed RPO. It's so fucking generic and filled with over-the-top CG bullshit that I wouldn't be surprised if he had some nobody on set calling the shots while he sat at home counting his money. As his kind {{directors}} are wont to do.

So, the hallmark of a Spielburg "blockbuster" film?

Ignoring Ernest Cleine's hack fraud writing for a second, did he came in support of Donald Trump, Brexit, or against muh lockdowns recently? Because there's no way soy consoomers of nostalgic media like Lindsay, Matthew Bald Buck and Shopcart Mexican would turn on him just because he's a shit writer.

I'm sure he's made some form of conservative statement. The disdain he gets from them is suspicious.

Either he's too political in the wrong direction, or he's not political enough.

I think they mainly used his clout to secure the rights for all of those pop culture characters.

Maybe he's not on Disney's payroll so their allowed to hate it (expect "I actually loved Ready Gayer One" videos in five years if any of us are still alive).

This is what I asked in another thread. His brand of soy consumerism is right up their alley. You'd think they'd be circling the wagons for this shit like they did The Last Jedi.

Maybe they resent him because he got rich doing the same dumb shit they all do: cramming endless pop culture references into an insufferable plot. RPO was basically a TGWTG anniversary movie with a budget.

I'm thinking it's as simple as that.

Really, the CA castoffs were on the verge of grabbing Doge by the balls, were it not for Linkara. He's the one that happily went along with all the stupid silliness whole the others wanted to get serious.
It drove a wedge in their plans, where the most popular ones were fine with continuing to pal around with the Walkers or turn themselves into punchlines (Spoony) with no teeth to their promises at all.
Given this--what kind of real studio would see any bargaining power from them at all? This is why so many wokecorps now just hire dime-a-dozen hack SJW writers for peanuts. They know they can get away with it because the 'writers' have no spine and nothing to back them up.

The reason why the Tennessee Abortion Drunk is the most successful is because she jumped as far away from the stain of CA as possible. Going to fake-snooty PBS and selling her soul completely for Disney and pseudo-intelkectual B.S. gave her some kind of real credit to the insular Hollywood insiders.
Why do you think she got her own terrible YA novel with shit full of concepts she also barely knows? It's because she played the game the 'right way' to appease her Moloch masters.
[[They]] really don't see you as worthy unless you ingratiate and grovel at their pride, making them feeling giving you anything more that a token pittance is acceptable.

If it sounds like basically only those who appease their degenerate gods succeed...well, tgats kind if how it is.
And to that end, you cant be independently outside the system, while thinking you can really be a part of it.
Sooner or later the chucklefucks hit the ceiling, realize what's going on, and get Lupa bitter.
...and still: Spoony did nothing.
